ribonuclease MRP complex

Term ID

GO:0000172

Synonyms

• ribonuclease mitochondrial RNA processing complex
• RNase MRP complex

Definition

A ribonucleoprotein complex that contains an RNA molecule of the snoRNA family, and cleaves the rRNA precursor as part of rRNA transcript processing. It also has other roles: In S. cerevisiae it is involved in cell cycle-regulated degradation of daughter cell-specific mRNAs, while in mammalian cells it also enters the mitochondria and processes RNAs to create RNA primers for DNA replication.
